William A. Swendson II

I genuinely believe that the value of life comes from service toothers.  I have dedicated more hours to this philosophy than ourbusiness manager would care to imagine.  I have been rewarded kindly inthe friends that I have made, the lessons that I have learned and theimpact that I have made on the community.  I never stop hunting for the next project. 

My service to the community hasbeen very broad in scope.  I have served as a member of the Oconomowocschool board, the Oconomowoc Hospital Foundation, and as a trustee ofSt. Jerome’s Catholic Church.  I created a foundation for theOconomowoc Rotary.  I set up a non-profit corporation which providesmedical services in Haiti.  I have coached soccer for the OconomowocSoccer Association and Lake Country United.  Currently, I am Presidentof the Village of Lac La Belle.  I am a legal advisor to St. Jerome’sCatholic Church and Holy Hill, and run a free legal clinic.

Itis my passion and dedication that have powered my law career.  Asfounder and president of the firm, I have created and nurtured anorganization that is dedicated to the service of our clients.  Irequire respect and dignity for everyone.  I insist that everyattorney and assistant obtain the training and continuing educationnecessary for the highest level of assistance to our clients.  Ipractice what I preach.  I travel annually to seminars all overthe country.  I arrange for twice-monthly teleconferences for ourattorneys and the financial planners/CPAs who are our strategicpartners.  I emphasize active listening so that our team understandsthe range and depth of our clients’ needs.  I provide clienteducation so that they are empowered to meet the unique and unexpectedchallenges of life.  My aim is to provide my clients with peace ofmind.   In the end, I want our clients to be satisfied with theirchoice of our firm as their personal, family attorneys.

I concentrate my practice in the areas of estate planning, probate andtrust administration, but I am experienced in a wide-range of legalareas having represented financial institutions, medical facilities,real estate developers, condominium associations, real estate brokers,and business entities.  I have a wide range of litigation experienceincluding appellate work before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.  Beyondthat, I am a real estate broker and have a Masters of Tax degree inaccounting.  It is this range of knowledge and experience that hasallowed me to offer our clients superior legal service.  I lookforward to helping you.
